How does immunisation establish durable disease resistance in plants?
Mobile immune signals released upon immunisation boost effectiveness of the defence hormone salicylic acid by ten times!π² This results in higher immune gene expression and systemic acquired resistance against infection.
Pseudomonas syringae secretes the iminosugar glycosyrin to block plant immune recognition. It mimics galactose to inhibit Ξ²-galactosidase, disrupt flagellin sensing, and rewire host glycobiology!
